Old shoe full of jam

I've been busy, so the updates have slowed down. I'm not going to whip myself about it - at least not extra hard.

Birthday Party

On Saturday I took Noah and Leo to Ted's 5th birthday party, at Castaway's cove which was the boy's favourite soft play, until last year. They had a great time, and I had one of those weird realisations, that I've had a few times, that I've shared the bus home with Ted's dad for about 10 years -- Britain's biggest village eh?

I picked the boys up at 12:40 and took them to Hillsborough Park, which is just possibly becoming less of a pain. Looking after two boys with differing play interests is hard when you're an unapologetic helicopter parent who must hover close by at all times.

Work: About a week until release. Working through the last few tasks. Pressure pretty low, although beyond the specific tasks of the release there are a lot of things that need fixing or improving within the docs. Still, the new User Guide is a big improvement in terms of usability.

Reading: Re-reading Chuck Gannon's Fire with Fire, rushing through with an eye for details concerning ships and technology. I'm planni…
